1
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 1: This is a Jesse Kelly Show. It is The Jesse

2
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: Kelly Show. Final hour of The Jesse Kelly Show. Reminding

3
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 1: you you can email the show your love, your hate,

4
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: your death threats. You're asked Doctor Jesse questions the jesseat

5
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: Jesse Kellyshow dot com looks like those gas stove bands

6
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: are expanding. Wow, who called that long ago? And Americans

7
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: saying life is worse. All that is still to come

8
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: this hour. But we mentioned tunnel rats last night and

9
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: I got a bunch of emails from people saying they

10
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: don't know what they are. What am I talking about? Okay,

11
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: let's discuss a little bit of Vietnam history. Vietnam as

12
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: you know it now was once known as Indo China,

13
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: French Indo China to be specific. The Japanese went storming

14
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: in there in World War Two. The French really had

15
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: control of it after that, and the Vietnamese people have

16
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: historically been a people that do not abide colonists, conquerors,

17
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. Well, they are a

18
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: very proud people, a distinctive people, and they don't want anybody,

19
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: not the Japanese, not the French, not America coming in there.

20
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: And telling them what to do and what not to do.

21
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: Now here's the deal. They were used to fighting off

22
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: a powerful foreign army. Okay, they were used to fighting

23
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 1: off So there was a lot of institutional knowledge there.

24
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: And the ground in Vietnam provided the Vietnamese just kind

25
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: of the soil type. It provided the Vietnamese with a

26
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: resource that was extremely unique. I cannot think. I'm sure

27
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: I will get a bunch of emails from your history buffs,

28
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: and I love those, by the way. I love your corrections,

29
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: I love your emails. I love your tidbits. Never stop

30
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: sending those to me. I love getting smarter because of you.

31
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: I can't think of another time in history where tunnels

32
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: were used like this, not one that I really know of,

33
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: and I know like in World War One, tunneling was

34
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: very big because that was trench warfare. So they decided

35
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: to go underground and they would tunnel at each other.

36
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: That's a fascinating history story. I should tell you one

37
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: time there would you'd be tunneling towards their trench or

38
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: they're tunneling towards yours, and sometimes the tunnels would run

39
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: into each other and they'd have pickaxe fights in the

40
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: dark under the ground. Think how crazy this is anyway? Anyway,

41
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: but tunnels like this I can't really think of. And

42
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: here's what they did. You can shoot and disappear into

43
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: the ground. They would They created holes. Our guys ended

44
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,839
Speaker 1: up calling them spider holes where a spider hole would be.

45
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: I'm kind of making up this this dimension because they

46
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: were all different sizes. Imagine a four foot by four

47
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: foot hole in the ground, four foot by four foot

48
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: by four foot. I guess it is three dimensional after all,

49
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: four by four by four and it's mostly covered with

50
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: jungle brush on top of it. But it's got a

51
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: little lid. You can open up and you're one guy.

52
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: Maybe you have an order rifle. You're one guy. H

53
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: platoona Marines comes walking by you. What are you gonna do?

54
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: Run out there and charge them though you're not you're

55
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: not an Islamic jihatas trying to die. You wait till

56
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: they all go past. Pop your head out the spider hole,

57
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: Pop snipe one, you drop right back in. The lid

58
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: drops on you. They turn around to shoot to figure

59
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: out what's going on. Where's a shot coming from. Let's

60
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: go get him. That's that's let's avenge our buddy, but

61
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: all they see is jungle. They can even start walking

62
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: around and it's just jungle out there. An expansion of

63
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: that concept was the tunnels. They had tunnels. They have tunnels.

64
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: I guess some of the I guess you can still

65
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: tour these if you go to Vietnam to this day.

66
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: It's not I guess, I know you can still tour these.

67
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: Apparently you can go down in them, so you have

68
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: a good time with that. I'm not going to be

69
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: joining you down there, but these tunnels still exist in extensive,

70
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: expansive tunnel system. Digging them was extremely labor intensive. We're

71
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: not talking about heavy equipment here. We're talking about men

72
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: with buckets and shovels underneath the ground, digging them, hauling

73
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: the dirt up, digging them, hauling the dirt up. But

74
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,799
Speaker 1: we're miles of tunnels, miles of tunnels of various kinds.

75
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,679
Speaker 1: Sometimes they interconnect with other tunnel systems, sometimes they don't.

76
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: Oftentimes they would curve around, so you couldn't say, if

77
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: let's say you discovered a tunnel entrance, you can't just

78
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: pop your head down and look down all long straight hallways,

79
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: shine your flashlight down there any bad guys in there,

80
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: Pop pop pop, shoot at them, or shoot a flamethrower

81
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: in there, check a couple grenades in, blow it up

82
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: and call it good. The Vietnamese were not stupid, so

83
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: the tunnels would curve around left and right. They would

84
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: curve around. The tunnels would have trap doors in them

85
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: and just flat out doors in them. What can that

86
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: look like? And keep in mind there are a bunch

87
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: of different ways this can look. I'm just giving you

88
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: general concepts. If i crawl down in a very dark hole,

89
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: I'm a tunnel rat, let's say, and I'm looking for

90
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: the Vietnamese, the viet Cong who are in the tunnel.

91
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: I may come across. I may come across something that

92
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: feels like a lid of some kind underneath me. Maybe

93
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: I figure out how to get that lid open underneath me.

94
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: Maybe what I see is another tunnel underneath me. There

95
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: was another one running right underneath me, and I have

96
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: to crawl down a level to get to that other tunnel.

97
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: Maybe when I pop that lid to get down to

98
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: that bottom tunnel, maybe there's a grenade or booby trap

99
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: waiting for me to open that lid that blows up

100
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: in my face and then I die in the tunnel.

101
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe there's something a stick or a string of

102
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: some kind. As I crawled down the tunnel, keep in mind,

103
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: we're under the ground, we're in the pitch black. Maybe

104
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: there's something I can hit that will have a door

105
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: drop in front of my face. Basically a board drop

106
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: in front of my face, only instead of just the

107
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: run of the millboard, they took in an extremely poisonous

108
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: viper and they nailed him through his tail to the board.

109
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: And now he's quite upset, having just been dropped and

110
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: having a nail through his tail, and he's biting me

111
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:57,559
Speaker 1: under the ground. Along come the tunnel rats, because these

112
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: tunnels were such a prop for our guys. It was

113
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: maddening our people. We have the firepower, we're the ones,

114
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, fire and maneuver and communication. You send an

115
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: Army infantry platoon in their Marine Corps infantry platoon in there,

116
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna outshoot and did outshoot guys like the Vietcong

117
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: all day long. The engagements directly with you know, the

118
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: Marines in the South Vietnam. There weren't many of them.

119
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: They figured out, h that's a bad idea. So what

120
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: did they do. Booby traps and tunnel systems, constant constantly

121
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: shooting our guys and disappearing, constant harassment all the time,

122
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: and our air power was a big deal. If all

123
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you let's say you're a marine platoon,

124
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: you're walking along the dyke and you get ambushed. They

125
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: start opening up on you from over by the woods,

126
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: and they're opening up on you, and you take cover

127
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: and you're shooting back and you're doing everything. Let's say

128
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: you call in an airstrike. You call it an airstrike.

129
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: Airstrike comes in straight from down, Yeah, we got them.

130
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: And you run over there to check what's going on.

131
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: When you're done, and you can't find any dead bodies.

132
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: In fact, it doesn't look like you killed anyone at all.

133
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: The tunnels became a shelter system from American air power

134
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: and artillery power. You go down into the tunnel system,

135
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: so if you're in an army, you can't allow enemy

136
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: combatants to just move around underneath you at will. Remember

137
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: these were hospitals, these were cafeterias, these were places men

138
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: would sleep for hours on and these were they were intricate.

139
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: It's not just a straight tunnel. There were rooms carved out.

140
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: These were intricate, very very fascinating things. But you can't

141
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: allow an our enemy army to travel underneath you, and

142
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: you definitely can't allow an enemy army to get behind you.

143
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: Almost all combat is trying to keep the enemy in

144
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: front of you in the so you know where to shoot.

145
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: You can't have him popping up behind you shooting your guys,

146
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: stabbing your guys. So it didn't take long for us

147
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: to discover this tunnel system. Well, you have to find

148
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: somebody who's going to go get them out. How are

149
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: you gonna get them out? You can say things like

150
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: a flamethrower, But as I went over before, because of

151
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: the levels and the curves, Vietnamese were not stupid. They

152
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: accounted for that. They accounted for the grenades, they accounted

153
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,599
Speaker 1: for the things. There's only one way to get them out.

154
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: You have to go down there. Someone has to go

155
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: down there. And so this is an example of what

156
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: that might look like. And it's unreal, this is true,

157
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: but it is true. People talked a lot about guys

158
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: going down in the hole with a forty five, a

159
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: forty five being the pistol in their hands. You should

160
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: understand that obviously that happened, that was not that common.

161
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: Why was it not that common? It was too loud.

162
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: If you go down there with the forty five in

163
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: a confined space like that, because your eyes aren't that

164
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: much good, your nose and your ears become everything. You

165
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: start cooking off with the forty five. One shot with

166
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: a forty five in an environment like that, your ears

167
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: aren't your ear drums aren't blown out, but they're ringing

168
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: to the point you might as well be deaf. You're

169
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: having keller. At this point in time, you are a

170
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: sitting duck. So set the forty five aside. Let's do

171
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: just a brief example of what this looked like, and

172
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: then we'll go back to politics and gas dos and

173
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: emails and everything else before we get to that. Speaking

174
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: of veterans, I talk a lot about Pure Talk. I

175
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: want to talk just a little bit about veterans suicide though,

176
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: because again Puretalk loves this country. Puretalk CEO is a veteran.

177
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: I love that Pure Talk now has chosen veterans suicide

178
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: as the issue they're going to do into. That makes

179
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: me proud to speak for them, makes me proud to

180
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: support them because we lose too many veterans who, for

181
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: various reasons just kind of decide they're going to give

182
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: up hope and check out. And it can feel hopeless sometimes.

183
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: So look right now, they're giving away a free Samsung

184
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: Galaxy phone when you switch. If you've got unlimited talk,

185
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: text and data, and I like that, go get you

186
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: a free phone. Do it. But more than that, say

187
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: thank you to a veteran today, all right, and support

188
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: a company that supports those veterans. Dio pound two five

189
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: zero and say Jesse Kelly, switch to Pure Talk pound

190
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: two five zero, say Jesse Kelly, the Jesse Kelly Show.

191
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: I like it returns next it is the Jesse Kelly Show.

192
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: We're finishing up the tunnel rats here. Then we'll get

193
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: to the gas stoves and Americans saying life is worth

194
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: and why that's actually ridiculous, and Nikki Hayley's send the

195
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: news kind of we'll get to that in a second.

196
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: But finishing up these tunnel rat things. So in case

197
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: you're just joining us, I've been going over tunnel rat stuff.

198
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: So it was a tunnel rat. But say you're in

199
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: the army. They had to pick a small guy becas

200
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: remember Vietnamese people are very small. These tunnels are very

201
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: very small, very very small. Just put it to you

202
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: that way. I wouldn't even fit in one. I'm six '

203
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: eight and I have wide shoulders. I would not even

204
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: fit down one. It's not even wouldn't even be possible.

205
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: So you pick a guy to go in the tunnel.

206
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: Rats figured out early on the forty five was not

207
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: goods too loud. As I pointed out, they would oftentimes

208
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: carry a twenty two, a suppressed twenty two revolver, much

209
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: much quieter, and sometimes a flashlight. I have read, I've

210
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: read stories. It's just unbelievable, the bravery of these men.

211
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: I've read some stories about guys, many guys who did

212
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 1: not want a flashlight. Now that sounds crazy to you,

213
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: maybe until you realize the enemy has eyes too, and

214
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: he sees your flashlight beam too. Yes, you see him,

215
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: but he sees you. I read this story one time

216
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: about a guy who he was, I believe a high

217
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: school wrestler. I'm doing this off the top of my head.

218
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: He was a high school wrestler, definitely wrestler, and he

219
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: was down and the tunnel was looking for the Viet Cong.

220
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 1: No lights on because he didn't want them to be

221
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: able to see him, And he ends up running into one,

222
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: and they engage in hand to hand combat in the

223
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: pitch black of the tunnel, and he kills this guy.

224
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: I believe it was with his bare hands. He might

225
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: add a knife, but I believe he kills it with

226
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: his bare hands. And he was talking about it after

227
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: the fact, and he simply said, if I hadn't been

228
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: a high school wrestler, I probably would have been dead.

229
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: I just knew how to handle myself in that situation.

230
00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: Sometimes these guys wouldn't carry a light. Sometimes these eyes

231
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: would not carry a gun for the reasons I outlined earlier.

232
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: Not only is a gun loud, a gun flashes when

233
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: you shoot it. Any vision you may have had is

234
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: now gone the second you squeeze that gun. So I

235
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: want you to wrap your mind around this. Maybe you

236
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: know a tunnel rat, maybe one of your relatives was one.

237
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: I want you to wrap your mind around this truth.

238
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: There's a good chance you know somebody or are related

239
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: to somebody who's so brave that he went down in

240
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: a dark hole in the ground where he knew there

241
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: were snakes, spiders, booby traps, and everything else with a

242
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: knife in between his teeth like a pirate, and he

243
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: went and smelled and listened to his way through the tunnels,

244
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: killing whatever viet Cong he could find along the way.

245
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: Now do you understand why I talk about tunnel rats

246
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: and they don't get a lot of publicity Vietnam itself,

247
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: the publicity it gets as mostly negative because it was

248
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: such a crap war and our leadership was so crappy,

249
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: and so whenever we talk about it, we talk about

250
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: it almost almost like we're ashamed of it, which is ridiculous,

251
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: because we're not ashamed of the men who went and

252
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: fought over there. They were lions. Just because our leadership sucked,

253
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: But because so much of the conflict was ignored, the

254
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: tunnel rats get ignored. And another part of it is this,

255
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: so many of them didn't come back, and so many

256
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: of the ones who did they never talked about it.

257
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: They were Understandably, it's very, very, almost impossible to get

258
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: a tunnel rat to open up. How do you open

259
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: up about that? How do you come back and like

260
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: sit down in front of men? What in the world

261
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: can I do to possibly relate to a tunnel What

262
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: I just described to you. That's a nightmare. That's something

263
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: you would have a nightmare about. That's a horror movie.

264
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: Someone mentioned they should make a movie about it, and

265
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: then they said, well, it would probably be too scary.

266
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: That would be a horror movie. Only that guy lived

267
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: through a horror movie. How how badly would that mess

268
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: with your mind for the rest of your life. I've

269
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: been told I've I actually never met one. I would

270
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: love to meet one. I've been told that most of

271
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: these tunnel rats keep to themselves, very quiet, very humble,

272
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: not surprising, but you really don't want to make them

273
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: angry or they'll make you afraid. And they're all tiny,

274
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: they're all five five, five six, But that guy's seen

275
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: and done things that nobody will ever fully appreciate. So

276
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: I thought it was important to do that in case

277
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: you might have one in your family, friends, someone you know.

278
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: All these guys deserve respect, But man, tunnel rats should

279
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: have their own museum somewhere. That's I'm telling you right now.

280
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: I couldn't do it. I think you'd have to just

281
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: arrest me and put me in the brig If you

282
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: handed me a freaking flashlight and a knife and told

283
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: me to go down and do a whole Oh, I

284
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: forgot to mention the cave ins, because oftentimes the booby

285
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: traps were explosives of some kind, either a rigged one

286
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: from an old artillery shell or a grenade or something.

287
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: You might just be laying there in the tunnel after

288
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: the ceiling caved in on you, and you might just

289
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: lay there under the ground suffocating to death. And how

290
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: are your buddies going to get you out? They used

291
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: to start or they started tying their feet off to

292
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: a rope, because there's not really a way to get

293
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 1: you out once you're in other than just drag you

294
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: back up to the top by your feet. Respect the

295
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 1: tunnel rats. All right, all right? Why are Americans, or

296
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: I should say, why do Americans think life is more

297
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: miserable now than it was fifty years ago? Because the

298
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: why is important? Emails, gas stove bands and more. But

299
00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: before we do that, let's talk about practice. Nobody likes

300
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: to practice. Everyone remembers that Alison Alvin iverson line from

301
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: the NBA practice what's that matter? But there's not a

302
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: second way to get good at shooting. I wish there was.

303
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you. I do enjoy time at

304
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: the range, but not all the time. Sometimes it's a drag.

305
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to go. I go because I would

306
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: never be able to live with myself if God forbid

307
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: something bad happened when I'm around my family and I

308
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: couldn't hit what I was aiming at. I go because

309
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: the only way I will get good at shooting is practice.

310
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,959
Speaker 1: And even once I get good, when that day finally comes,

311
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: the only way I will maintain that is practice, practice, practice.

312
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: I love mantis X because it takes away any excuses.

313
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: There are no more excuses. You don't have to buy AMO,

314
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: you don't have to drive to the range, you don't

315
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: have to pay range fees. You dry fire practice in

316
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 1: the comfort of your home without firing a shop. So

326
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi gone? The wicked witch of the West has

327
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: made a disappearing act. This has my eyebrows raised. You

328
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: should see her eyebrows. That's all I have to say. Now, Look,

329
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi is checking out wealthy beyond belief, handed the

330
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: reins over to a chem Jeffries. Look, I actually I

331
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: can't believe I'm saying that, But you know how much

332
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: I love her because I wish we had a whole

333
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: bunch of goo peers who were like her, had her guts.

334
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 1: I admire the fact we finally have nine thousand year

335
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: old politician willing to retire. Normally they're all pooping in

336
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: the pants like Jerry Nadler and we have to cart

337
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: them out the back of the place. At least she's leaving. Yeah,

338
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: Dear designer dog, part time obliterator of the word literally

339
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: oracle as a longtime text a long time listener, I

340
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: took your advice moving from Massachusetts to Texas. While there's

341
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: a lot of work to do around here, I don't

342
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: have any friends near this part of the country, who

343
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: are down to grab beers and chase dimes. As a

344
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: single twenty seven year old man, what advice would you

345
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: have for meeting male friends in your late twenties and

346
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: things to do in Austin? Okay, Well, I brought this

347
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: up because we get the We've got these emails a lot. Jesse,

348
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: I'm looking for a dime, Jesse, I'm looking for a husband, Jesse,

349
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: I'm looking for this. I will tell you this. I

350
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: think we can rely too much on social media now.

351
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: The social media a dating age, like dating apps and

352
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: things like that that came by after I was long

353
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: off the market. But I would totally have dove on

354
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: that when I was dating. That would have been that

355
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 1: would have been something fun. But people today are complaining,

356
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: and this is gonna go right into this survey I'm

357
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: about to talk about. They complain so much about loneliness.

358
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: People are lonely, and maybe you're struggling with loneliness. You

359
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: want more friends, you want a boyfriend, you want a girlfriend,

360
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: you want a husband, you want a wife, you you

361
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: want to meet people. We say this, but we don't

362
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 1: oftentimes do the necessary things to go make friends, to

363
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: go out and meet people. We just don't. We say

364
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: I wish I had someone to hang out with, but

365
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: we don't go find a group of people and start

366
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: hanging out with them. Join groups of people. I guarantee

367
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: there's a gun group in your area, guarantee, especially in Austin, Texas.

368
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 1: But no matter where you are, if you're in New

369
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: York City, Miami, or LA, there are people who like

370
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: to shoot in your area. I bet you they organize

371
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: themselves on social media wherever, Facebook, or whatever the case

372
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: may be. Put on your pants, put on your shoes,

373
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: leave the house, go meet some people. Go to church, Yes, Chris,

374
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: go to temple. I thought you called it synagogue. People

375
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: call it temple. You call it you do, call it synaggue,

376
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: but you can't spell it. Okay, go to church. If

377
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: you're Jewish, go to synagogue, which Chris, who is Jewish,

378
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: apparently cannot spell. If you're a Muslim, got a mosque,

379
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: go to a house of worship, speak to people there

380
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: who will share your values. If you're a runner, maybe

381
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: you're a runner. Maybe you're one of those weirdo freaks

382
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 1: who likes to run. There are runners groups. Maybe you hike,

383
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: There are hiking groups. That's where you're gonna go meet

384
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: that dime who shares some interest of yours, or you'll

385
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,959
Speaker 1: meet somebody who knows the dime. Hey, you'd be perfect

386
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,479
Speaker 1: for my sister. You be if you're lonely, even if

387
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: you're not looking for the next hubby or wife or

388
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. If you're lonely, you gotta

389
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: get out of the house. And that can be difficult

390
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: sometimes because who wants to do that when you don't

391
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: have to look? Hey, you're talking to introvert Jesse here.

392
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 1: I'm right there with you. I get off work on Friday.

393
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to go hang out with the neighbors.

394
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: And I like my neighbors, but I'm done with work

395
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: for the week. Can I just go home and put

396
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: on my ratty shorts and my T shirt with holes

397
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: in it? And I have a glass suburban and maybe

398
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: we'll watch a show or play a board game. But no.

399
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 1: I walk in the door and oh, the neighbors are

400
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: having a crawfish boil tonight. Don't change. We're leaving, and

401
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 1: I sit there and I complain, and I don't want

402
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: to go, and this sucks. It's healthy to go. Human

403
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: beings even in this technological age when everything is on

404
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: our phones. Human beings need human touch, human interaction. So

405
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: you've got to go find human touch somewhere, not like

406
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 1: Joe Biden does. Make sure she's of age, but find

407
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: human touch somewhere. What Chris, sorry, I'm sorry. Now that

408
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: brings me to this survey survey, most Americans say life

409
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: is worse than it was fifty years ago. And maybe

410
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: that's the case, maybe it's not. I don't know. Worse

411
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: is probably in the eyes of the beholder. But the

412
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 1: problem with that is this, The problem with these surveys

413
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: is this people can never come to the same conclusion

414
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: as to why it's worse. If you were to ask

415
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: me why life is worse, if you really believe life

416
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: is worse today than it was fifty years ago, I

417
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: would blame communists and communism. The American family is broken up.

418
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: Cultural Marxism has taken over every part of this society.

419
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: We've drifted away from being a meritocracy. Now every part

420
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: of this country just attacks the country itself, tears it down,

421
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 1: and as a result, the economy's worse, the family environment's worse,

422
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 1: the school environment is worse. It's the last time you

423
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: talked to a college kid who's a normal mind on

424
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: a college campus. I only went to one year at

425
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: Montana State University before I failed out, but I remember

426
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: it being quite fun, especially that semester where I got

427
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: a zero point zero. It was quite fun. I had

428
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: a blast. Hey there's my buddy. Hey you want to

429
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: go have a beer. Oh, look a group of dimes.

430
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: I believe I will go talk to them. Oh, this

431
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,239
Speaker 1: is a fun place to be. You talk to half

432
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: these kids. Now it's just always a protest and activism

433
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: and this sucks and you can't say this and don't

434
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: say that. Well, I have to be careful. I don't

435
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: get canceled by my college friends. So because we've descended

436
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: into cultural Marxism, now, that's why the country is miserable.

437
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: We've broken up the American family. The American people don't

438
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: go to church anymore. And everything's cultural Marxist. Everything sucks.

439
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: America sucks. Everything's racist, everything's sexist. Everything has to be activist.

440
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: You can't just have fun, even fun movies. Go back

441
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: and look at movies in the eighties. How fun everything was.

442
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: Even the music was fun. Life is good, it's crazy,

443
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: it's fun. It's wild. Now, everything sucks. We're all oppressed.

444
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: So that would be the obvious answer. But if you

445
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: surveyed these people who say life is worse, the problem

446
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: is people would come up with a thousand different explanations.

447
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: In fact, how many of those people would say, it's

448
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:33,479
Speaker 1: capitalism's fault, it's Republican's fault, it's Trump's fault, it's definitely

449
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 1: Trump's fault. How many of these people would say that,

450
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: Probably too many. The problem is when you can't properly

451
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: assess the why. When you can't properly assess the why,

452
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 1: then you're screwed. You're totally screwed because you don't know

453
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 1: how to address the problem. Now, by the way, I

454
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: mentioned this earlier, Nicki Haley sat down for an interview,

455
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: and once again I will reiterate my point. I'm pretty

456
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: sure Ronda sand this is actually the leader of the

457
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: primary right now, of Ronda Santa's possibly getting in the.

458
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 2: Race, I mean, I think he should get in. If

459
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 2: he's going to get in, I got in in February.

460
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 2: I'm a decisive person. I didn't need to wait on

461
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 2: anything else. If you're gonna do it, jump in and

462
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 2: do it, and you know I welcome him to the race.

463
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: I think he's waiting for U. Is there a reason

464
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: he might be waiting.

465
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 2: I have no idea, but I think if you know

466
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 2: you're going to run, you should get in him. Run.

467
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got the whole thing again. I have all

468
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: these poles in front of me. I see every single

469
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: day Trump's up forty, Trump's up fifty. And I told

470
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: you to ignore all poles this far out. But if

471
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: Trump is really up forty, then why is Nicki Haley

472
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: attacking DeSantis? Never a bad word, not a single bad

473
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: word yet for Trump? This vvik rammans Webbat attacking only

474
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: to Sampan DeSantis, not a single bad word for Trump,

475
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: Trump himself going after the Standu's that's understandable, that's his

476
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: main rival. But Nicki Haley realizes she's going If Trump's up,

477
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: she has to take down Trump to be the nominee.

478
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:07,719
Speaker 1: Right Vivic realizes he has to take down Trump to

479
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: be the nominee. Right Trump, if we're believing the polls,

480
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 1: is the big dog and the block, unless, of course,

481
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: that's not really what they believe, unless they believe DeSantis

482
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: is going to be the leader when he gets in.

483
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if I believe that, but it sure

484
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: looks like they believe that. Anyway. Let's talk about chalk.

485
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 1: Let's talk about ourselves in unhappiness, because we just talked

486
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: about everything's worse. Everything is worse. Testosterone levels, they're an

487
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: important part of that. It's not possible for a man

488
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: to be low tee and be happy and content because

489
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: that leads to depression. It leads to feeling down, whereas

490
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: when you're high teen you find yourself happier, laughing a lot,

491
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: life is better. It's necessary. It's not one of these

492
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: side issues. It's necessary. Whether you're twenty eighty, you need testosterone. Guys,

493
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: you must have it. Get it naturally. Please, no injections

494
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: down at the local shopping mall. I know what they do.

495
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: Go to chalk, use natural herbal supplements. They have a

496
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: male vitality stack. It's incredible. I've been taking it every

497
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: day for a year. It's amazing. They have a female

498
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: vitality stack for ladies. Give it ninety days and then

499
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: you send me an email and you tell me how

500
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: you feel. It's palpable. C hoq dot com promo code

504
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: of the Jesse Kelly Show. But we'll be back in

505
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: here tomorrow. Might try to focus on some emails tomorrow

506
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: because I realized the stack is it's getting awfully heavy,

507
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: and I've been kind of late. What Chris, I've been

508
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: a little lazy with the emails recently. I've been more

509
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: focused on on me what I like to keep the

510
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: important things in the forefront. Anyway, if you send your

511
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: emails now tonight, there's a better chance tomorrow they're probably

512
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 1: going to get read Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.

513
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: Do you hear the Stiffle one on the Stiffle CEO? Stiffle?

514
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: Is it stifle? Michael? What is it? It sure looks

515
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: like Stiffle to me. I have our time believing they

516
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: would go with that name. But anyway, here's what he said.

517
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 3: The bigger thing is, I'll say this, Kelly. The Fed

518
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 3: needs to stop right here, right now, okay, and they

519
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 3: need to look and look at the date. I think

520
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 3: inflation will come in tomorrow a little bit. But we've

521
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 3: reached a point where the next couple moves.

522
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,479
Speaker 1: I think, uh, Chris, I didn't even think about that.

523
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: What if Chalk changed their name and now it's stiffle.

524
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 3: Things recession into play, and so what.

525
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: If Jeff Howell says, you know, Ron, I take your point,

526
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: but I'm sorry, my heart is not with you. My

527
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: heart is with you know, the American people and they're

528
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: suffering from inflation.

529
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 3: Well, no, I think that that's right, and the heart

530
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 3: should be with the people who would lose their jobs

531
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 3: in a recession. When you'd see the unemployment rate potentially

532
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 3: you know, I'll get up to six seven percent. But

533
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 3: I think that the inflation we'll see tomorrow. But I

534
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 3: believe that we're at a place where we can pause,

535
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 3: not only rate increases, we can pause qt a little

536
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 3: bit and let this economy get back on steady.

537
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: CEOs want the interest rate hikes to stop, because CEOs

538
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: are not as affected as you are by inflation. And

539
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm not really genuinely trying to do a class warfare thing.

540
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: I have no problem with rich people, I have no

541
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: problem with poor people, and I don't give a crap.

542
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it matters not to me. Money isn't your value.

543
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: But rich people don't feel inflation like poor people do.

544
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: When inflation goes up, for people, they move some money

545
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: around the markets, but they don't really change their standard

546
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: of living. They don't really have to make any lifestyle adjustments. Yes,

547
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: that summer trip to France is going to be more expensive,

548
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: but they don't really know you. You have to make adjustments.

549
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: You don't get to go on vacation this year. You

550
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: don't get to buy that new car. You were planning

551
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: on redesigning the patio. Now you can't afford it. That's

552
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: why CEOs love to run to the Fed then tell

553
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: them to stop increasing rates. They don't care about inflation

554
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: the way you do. It's understandable, really, but it is

555
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: what it is. Let's get to one more email here,

556
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: Jesse the anti communist dude. When will it be enough

557
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: to stop taking grief from the communists? When you think

558
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: will start the process of divorce by red states and

559
00:32:55,240 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: blue states, divorce is already underway. The divorce proceedings have

560
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: already begun. Listen. When I've always talked about national divorce,

561
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: I've always presented it as a Hey, let's be adults,

562
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: get ahead of it here. Let's just sit down, both

563
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: sides agree we hate each other, and let's divide up

564
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: the assets and liabilities. Who gets the kids, who gets

565
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: the dog, who gets the dead, who gets Montana, Let's

566
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: figure out what who goes where. But that was never

567
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: going to happen. I've always told you that it is

568
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: happening though it is inevitable, and it is happening naturally.

569
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: It's why I tell you people, you wonderful people in

570
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: blue states stuck behind enemy lines to move. Divorce is

571
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: already happening. The clock is sticking. I'm not saying it's tomorrow,

572
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: but people are voting with their feet. As blue states

573
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: descend into hell, as they descend into sodom and Gomorrah,

574
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: more and more people will flee them. They're going to

575
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: flee them to red states. Eventually, you are going to

576
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: have a nation where blue is dark blue and red

577
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: is dark red. Look at what happened to Florida. I

578
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: mean all credit in the world to DeSantis and the

579
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: legislature down there. They've done great things. But understand a

580
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: big reason why Florida went from being a purple state

581
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: to maybe the reddest state in the United States of

582
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:22,919
Speaker 1: America now because people moved. Republicans packed up and moved there.

583
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: They left New York, they left their California's and they

584
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: moved to Florida. And the bottom line is they got

585
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: a massive influx of Republicans. You can see it by

586
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: voter registration. This is the future. It's horrible future. I

587
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,879
Speaker 1: need to clarify. It's not what we want. We don't

588
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: want to be divided like that, like North and South

589
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: kind of divided. But it's the future. That's the future

590
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 1: of us. Make preparations. Preparations like getting an emergency three

591
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: month food kit in your hands. This is something that

592
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: needs to be done. You need three months worth of

593
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 1: food in your home. These people are banning and slashing

594
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: and burning everything from your gas stoves to your car.

595
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: How long do you think the subpit it takes until

596
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: the supply change. Just break in two and then you're

597
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,360

Speaker 1: by go you know, you know the.

608
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 2: Thing headlines we didn't get to.

609
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:04,240
